1. Rounding 144,528:
- When rounding to the nearest thousand, you look at the hundreds place of the number.
- For 144,528, the hundreds digit is 5 (in the hundreds place).
- Since 5 is 5 or greater, you round up.
- 144,528 rounds up to 145,000.
2. Rounding 144,902:
- Again, look at the hundreds place.
- For 144,902, the hundreds digit is 9.
- Since 9 is greater than 5, you round up.
- 144,902 rounds up to 145,000.
3. Rounding 145,163:
- Looking at the hundreds place again.
- For 145,163, the hundreds digit is 1.
- Since 1 is less than 5, you round down.
- 145,163 rounds down to 145,000.
4. Rounding 145,742:
- Look at the hundreds place.
- For 145,742, the hundreds digit is 7.
- Since 7 is greater than 5, you round up.
- 145,742 rounds up to 146,000.
So, the number that does not round to 145,000 is 145,742.
Therefore, the answer is D. 145,742.
